Kane squeezes harder but Referees break the four up, and they each walk their sepperate ways, Hurri-Kane very unhappy.

We cut to a shot backstage where Rico and Kronik are walking down the hallway celebrating their great win of the Tag Team Championships! They have champagne and a platter of food..the works!

Rico: You know you two, tonight with my help, you two won the XPW Tag Team Championships! If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't had won those!

Brian Adams: Look Rico, we owe you a big thanks for helping us out, but we did a damn good job on our own. But it was you that helped us in the end, and now that we are a team, NOBODY can stop us!

Just then K-Kwik walks into the room. He is shocked when he sees the three standing there.

K-Kwik: Oh damn bros, sorry bout that. Wrong locker room!

Rico: Oh no, we understand how you had that little head injury and all, itss really no problem, look why don't you come over and celebrate with us?

K-Kwik: Ah nah that's aight I'm cool.

Brian Adams: Get..OVER HERE and sit down, celebrate with us!

Kwik closes the door and hesitantly takes a seat. They seem to have a good time, but then Rico takes the platter and slams it over Kwik's head!

Tony: WHAT THE HELL?!

K-Kwik stumbles down and Rico starts to stomp on him and he tells Kronik to do the same and they begin to stomp away on K-Kwik! Referees run into the room and get Kronik and Rico away from K-Kwik, who has been busted open. He lays there on the floor bleeding.

We head up to the announce table in the ring area.

Bobby: Man I tell you what Shavonie K-Kwik sure stumbled into the WRONG locker room!

Tony: But Rico and Kronik had no real reason to do what they did and it was just wrong. I sure hope K-Kwik is alright.

Bobby: Oh Well.

Tony: Fans I can tell you that Stone Cold Steve Austin has made it to the hospital here in Manchester, and there is no report on how serious if any injuries were.

Bobby: If Any? There has to at least be stitches and you never know his neck could be broken, that may be the last we see of The Rattlesnake and I'm glad if it is!

Tony: Well you can say that but its just wrong..anyways fans also don't forget about our upcoming Pay Per View as you heard the New Blood talking about, its XPW Christmas Chaos!

Bobby: And what a Show it will be.

Tony: Christmas Chaos comes to you live Sunday, December 15th from Madison Square Garden in New york City, and we already have a few matches set for the event. We know that Edge will take on the United States Champion Rhyno at least that is the plan right now, we know Shane Douglas will defend his Heavyweight Title against Shawn Michaels or Rob Van Dam in what Bischoff said will be even better than last year's Hell in a Cell! We know that the Tag Team Titles will be on the line in some shape or form and I'm sure that more matches will be announced next week!

Lillian: The following contest is for the XPW United States Championship and is scheduled for
one fall.

"Medal" begins to play over the PA System as Kurt Angle makes his way out from the entrance to a booing crowd.

He makes his way to the middle of the rampway, and stops and raises his arms in the air as red white and blue pyro shoot up behind him. The fans begin to chant "You Suck!" along with his music while he makes his way into the ring. Kurt raises his arms and spins around yelling out "Wooo!". His music begins to die down.

Rhynos music hits as the crowd begins to boo. Rhyno makes his way out onto the stage breathing heavily, the U.S title strapped fermly around his waist. He begins to walk down the ramp.

Rhyno walks down slumped over slightly, and goes up the steps into the ring. He walks over to the turnbuckle, climbs up onto it, hits his chest twice with his arms crossed, and puts his arms up looking out into the crowd.

Bobby: Most definatly! I've said it before, that man, Kurt Angle, has all the tools. And to
top it all off he's an olympic champion!

Lilian: To my left, from Dearborn, Michigan weighing 285 pounds, ladies and gentleman he is the XPW United States Champion of the WORLD -- RHYNO!!!

Rhyno beats his chest, showing only one emotion -- rage
Lilian exits the ring and the refree cheks both champion and challenger. Meanwhile Edge walks down to the ring. A burst of cheers ring out as Edge walks down the isle-way to the annouce possition!

Tony: And fans, at this time it looks like we're going to be joined by Edge.

Edge: how is it going guys?

Angle and Rhyno lock up, both are even for a long, long time.

Tony: Neither man able to get an advantage! Whow, standing switch, Angle from behind! German Suplex!

Rhyno scurries to his feet but meets a clothsline. Rhyno again comes to his feet but this time meets a drop kick which sends him through the ropes, outside the ring. Angle runs, dives and hits Rhyno with his back sending him down to the mat! Rhyno and Angle make it to their feet and both men duke it out, fists flying!

Edge: Man, both these guys are beating the hell out of each other.

Kurt grabs one of Rhyno's punches, flips him over and stomps the man-beasts hand! Then, he walks to the announce table where he sees Edge.

Kurt: What are you doin' here?!

Edge stands up.

Edge: I'm here because I can be.

Kurt: You know, maybe you aught to show a little respect for your Olympic Hero!

Edge: For your information, your not a hero to everyone.

Tony: OH MY LORD!

Bobby: Augh! GORE!

Tony: Gore into the steal stairs!

Angle hits the stairs with a horrendous THUD, the back of his head hitting the stairs. Rhyno grabs a chair from nearbye and when Angle stands up he tastes steel and once again hits the cold floor of the outside.

Bobby: Kurt's been busted open!

Rhyno goes under the ring and grabs a table. He goes back into the ring and sets the table up in against the far right turnbuckle. A busted Angle rolls back into the ring, and from behind, smashes Rhyno hard in the head, grabs his legs and--

Tony: Angle Slam!!!

But Rhyno gets out of it and knees Angle in the gut, grabs him and puts piledrives him hard to the canvas.

Edge: Angle's bleeding pretty bad.

Tony: That he is, and that's going to be a big factor as this match progresses.

Rhyno picks Edge up and throws him to the opposite turnbuckle, Rhyno charges in attempting to hit another spear/gore but Kurt moves just in the nick of time and Rhyno's shoulder smashes the steal. Angle grabs Rhyno from behind, hooks him and--

Tony: Oh, and there's a German suplex!

Bobby: Here's another one!

Tony: And a third release German suplex! Rhyno is hurt!

Angle crawls to Rhyno and covers but only gets two. Angle then grabs the leg of Rhyno and puts him in the Ankle lock, but Rhyno kicks and manages to roll free, sending Kurt onto the outside. Rhyno charges and jumps through the ropes with a summersault plauncha, BUT Angle catches him--

Tony: OH MY GOD! PILEDRIVER TO THE OUTSIDE CONCRETE! Rhyno must be dead!

Angle rolls back into the ring, touching his forhead and then looking at the red liquid on his hand. This only seems to give Kurt a more determined look on his face as he stands up and takes off his shoulderstrap, an angry look on his face. He walks over to the far ropes and spits a combination of blood and saliva at Edge, which hits him on the cheek.

Edge: Son of a--!!

Edge stands up

Bobby: Whow, calm down Edge!

Angle: Whoo!!!

Kurt flips Angle 'the bird' and this ticks Edge off even more!

Rhyno struggles to get back into the ring, Kurt kicks Rhyno in the gut and again piledrives him down, but this time to the ring canvas. Angle then begins to stomp the neck of Rhyno again and again. He then lays down elbow after elbow, working on the neck.

Tony: What a vicous attack by Kurt Angle!

Bobby: He's gone Olympic!

Kurt Angle hooks Rhyno and once again Triple German Suplexes him, on the last one releasing him right into the turnbuckles. Angle picks Rhyno up and DDT's him!

Bobby: he's not just trying to beat Rhyno, he's trying to destroy him!

Tony: He could have covered him there and got the win, but Angle continues to beat on Rhyno! He's gone sadistic here tonight!

Kurt slaps Rhyno right in the face.

Kurt: I can beat you anytime, you big son of a bitch! Wooo!

The crowd lets out a WOOOO and Rhyno stumpes to his feet, holding his neck. Angle kicks him in the stomach and delivers a Stone Cold stunner!

Tony: What the hell? The STUNNER!

Bobby: Oh, that's it.

Tony: 1, 2, 3- no he kicked out! Rhyno holding onto that U.S title by a tenth of a second!

Kurt: What the hell ref?! I'm the 1996 olympic champion! YOU DO YOUR DAMN JOB AND COUNT!

Angle grabs Rhyno's foot and hooks him into the Ankle lock!

Bobby: Oh, good night Irena.

Bobby: Kurt Angle has literally destroyed the man-beat here tonight! Rhyno trying despratly to get to the ropes!

Rhyno slowly crawls and grasps the ropes. Angle is forced to release.

Edge: Don't count Rhyno out. He's not the champion for nothing.

Rhyno stumbles to his feet and Kurt unloads with rights and lefts. Finally, something sparks in Rhyno and he charges Angle with a horrid clothsline. Both men go down. But Rhyno quickly makes it to his feet. He picks Angle up and unloads onto Angle with a series of rights and lefts, backing Angle into the table he set up in the corner earlier. Rhyno walks back to the far turnbuckle and then charges, preparing to gore Angle through the table!

Edge: He's gonna gore him through the table!

Angle moves and Rhyno is the one who goes through the table, head first right into the steal of the turnbuckle!
Rhyno stumbles back and Angle grabs him into the olympic slam and hits it, BUT the leg of Rhyno accidently smashes the referee, he goes down.

Tony: Hey, wait a minute, Edge has just left the annouce possition here!

Angle once again grabs the leg of Rhyno and twists his leg into yet another Ankle Lock. But Edge bursts into the ring with a chair and NAILS Angle in the back of the head. Angle goes down. Edge then sets the chair down and picks Angle up, hooking his head under his arm.

Tony: OH! EDGECUTION TO THE STEAL CHAIR!

Edge exits the ring and Rhyno crawls over and covers Angle. The refree also crawls over and counts

Bobby: 1, 2, 3! Dammit!

Tony: Rhyno retains the U.S Championship, with a much needed assist from Edge!

Bobby: Had that long haired hethan not interfered, then you damn sure would have been looking at a new U.S Champion! Angle had this match won!

Commercial Break

We come back from a break and Kurt Angle is walking down the hallway with a dissapointed look on his face. We can hear some voices coming from nearby..

?: Yah man, he wouldn't stand a chance against you.

?: Really Kurt Angle is old news he couldn't even make Rhyno tap out and he calls himself an olympic champion!

Angle stops and listens..

?: I know, its just too bad he has to SUCK so much..that must be why they chant, YOU SUCK..YOU SUCK..

They all start to say it..

?:You Suck!

?: you Suck!

Angle has had enough, he bursts around the corner and sees that its Rob Van Dam, Edge, and Shawn Michaels!

Kurt Angle: FIRST OFF, I do not Suck! You Suck! Oh yeah..and by the way EDGE, was that YOU that you and your two 'buds' were mentioning that I supposedly..CANNOT BEAT! Look PAL, I almost had Rhyno and I almost had the US Title OH YES I DID! But it just so happens, I didn't want to hurt the guy too bad. Because if I did I know he'd go whining to MR Bischoff for a rematch, and whiners are bad company..

The New blood smirks, at the fact that Angle is actually one of the biggest whiners..

Kurt Angle: What is the problem?

Edge: You didn't want to hurt him? Excuse me, ha, Kurt you are all wrong, it was ME that cost you that match, and you know it! But, Kurt Kurt, if you want to prove that you can beat me, why not PROVE IT at Christmas Chaos? Heh? What do you say, Olympic..CHAMP!

Kurt Angle: You know what? YOU'RE ON MISTER! Oh yeah, so I hope you are happy because now, you are going to get your ankle broken, by your olympic hero oh..its true.

Edge: Is that right?

Kurt Angle: Oh yeah, its DAMN TRUE!

Angle walks off all cocky and confident. While The New Blood slap hands and laugh
